Angel has certainly been a constant source of support and caring for all of us, even through some of her darkest moments!
BIG SHOUT OUT TO ANGEL!!

And here is a big shout out to EVERYONE who has become a member of our family! The constant theme that I read in new member's post is that they are so happy to find a forum filled with so many kind, caring, supportive and accepting people! It is all of you who set us apart from all other support forums!

SO, HERE'S TO OUR LUPUS FAMILY :fam21:

Peace and Blessings
Namaste

Okay, I've got to start this thread back up again.

Has anyone been to Angel's Profile Page lately? Have you noticed that Angel has 47 Friends! Yes, 47! It goes on and on for 5 pages. Our sweet Angel doen't let anyone get by, new members and veterans...she offers 'Friend' invites to everyone. She doesn't just appear first, and welcome everybody with open arms and love and compassion in her posts, but she follows up and asks them to be her friend.

That shows me that she is a True Angel walking the face of the Earth. Her and I talked once about how lonely it is when nobody wants to be your friend or reach out to you...so I know that with her heart of gold, she does not want one single person to feel they are without a friend.

So, here's what I suggest we do.....Most of us know Angel had a really rough time, yet again, with her last doctor visit and MRI, right before she took off for a few days....so I thought I'd activate this thread again and ask everyone to leave her another round of messages for when she gets back. I want her to feel double the Love she got last time. Let's shower her with our Love and make her laugh and enjoy. And for anyone reading this that somehow isn't on Angel's 'Friend' list, please go to your Profile Page and put in a request for Angel to be your friend. I know she will Love it!

I hope I'm not asking too much...just a whole lot of Love for our Angel.

I'll be happy to get us started..............

I am so glad you had a lovely time...I can tell it did wonders to bring your spirits up and give you a time away from the day to day routine.

What good fun...dinner with new friends, fresh air, breakfast in bed each day, shopping for perfume and chocolate and jewels.....and what a sweetie John is to take such good care of you.

I am very happy for you......and happy, too, that you found your way to back to us....

Take care, and enjoy your Friday!

P.s...UPDATE:-

Had a scan on my brain so should get the results soon.Also took an advocate with me to my rheumi appointment..OMG what a difference.He wasnt sure who she was,so he acted so interested in me for a change lol.She was laughing and joking with him.Guess what ? I was tested again for Lupus and also she got him to send me to a sleep clinic,after ten years of insomnia he finally is sending me to sort me out.Dont know when but i'll keep you updated.Wish i always had someone with me at appointments,i was amased at the difference how he treated me.Ive been rough lately with no sleep,noisey neighbours and total stress so have gone away for a few days for a bit of peace yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay lol.:)Also i am being sent for laser treatment on my jaw in November so hopefully the jaw throb may ease for christmas too.xxxx

This is wonderful news! Three cheers for progress! I think it's terrible that Dr only began to listen to you and treat you well after bringing an advocate. Perhaps he thought it was a lawyer! LOL. Either way, I am glad to see him taking action for once. :)

Saysusie

09-13-2010, 07:26 AM

Angel;
I know I've said this before, but I am sooooo happy that you have an advocate with you now and that your doctor is responding to your advocate and taking action on your symptoms. It is about time that he take you seriously, I just wish that he had given you the same professional courtesy. But, I guess we do whatever it takes!!
I hope you enjoyed your few days away and was able to get some rest, some peace and some quiet!! BTW..I LOVE your new avatar. You look beautiful :-)

Peace and Blessings
Namaste

Thanks so much Carlotta & Sandy.I know i think he thought she was somebody in power lol.She is an ex policewoman so it came across that she was very confident and not afraid to say anything.Lets see now how i get on.Was funny seeing his face like 'who is she' (like in big brother if you watch it).Thanks for the comment on my photo.They were taken yesterday.I think my laptop is the problem maybe as ive been unable to upload photos until i got here at Johns.Hope you both are having a great day.Thanks again.

Great news! Hopefully by Christmas time you will be a new woman

I always think I can handle appointments on my own because I am such a painfully independent person. But then when bad news is given to me when I don't expect it, I forget everything that is said to me. I wish that some way I can have some prior warning of bad news before I to some appointments so I can get someone to come with me.
